Why dogs always sniff each others butts.
This is a story my dad told us when we were kids. Somehow, I don’t think it’s true, but ah well, it does explain things…
Once upon a time there was an important meeting held at the council hall for all dogs to attend. Dogs turned up from all over the world, and on arriving at the conference they were asked to take off their butts and hang them on a peg in the foyer. The meeting was halfway through when the building’s fire alarm suddenly went off. Blind panic ensued, and the dogs raced out of the building, quickly grabbing any butt they could find as they passed through the foyer.
Once they were all safely out, they began to realise that they didn’t have their own butt. From that time onwards, whenever a dog meets another dog, he checks to see if that dog is wearing his original, wayward behind.
The End (hey, that’s a pun!)
I was finished the first draft, but then I decided to torment my characters even more, and I'm adding an extra couple of scenes.
